Ever seen a farmer pull up to the local pizza place in his tractor to a pick up his order?

That happened Friday, and happens often, at Village Pizza here in Hemingford.

“It’s always something different,” said owner Amanda Knote. “We are starting to get people coming in from Chadron, Crawford, Scottsbluff, and Alliance. The support from our hometown has been wonderful but it’s so nice having people come from other towns just to eat here.”

Amanda and her husband Wayne along with plenty of help from friends and family worked for months to get the restaurant ready to open. On February 12, 2019 they decided just to go for it and do a soft opening.

“We didn’t think we were going to be too busy and lunch went really smooth,” said Amanda. “Word spread and we were slammed that night; it was crazy.

“It’s definitely gone better than we thought it would. We didn’t know how it was going to go but the opportunity presented itself and we were like ‘let’s do it!’ I always wanted to do a business but where my parents owned a business and Wayne’s parents owned a business he was really hesitant.
